Councillor Nazim Choudary (Lab, St. Davids) will eventually become mayor of the town.

Making the announcement Cllr Danielle Stone (Lab, Castle), leader of the labour group said: “I am delighted that Cllr Choudary has agreed to be our next deputy mayor.

"He will bring the energy of youth to the role together with his passion for the work local groups do.

"I know that he will also be a great fundraiser for whatever his chosen charity as mayor will be.
